Database Management

Marketing truism: 50% of the success of a direct mail campaign depends upon the list. That means every marketer’s primary challenge is to find the right people to talk to … the ones who are making buying decisions about your products/services. That’s why targeting the most likely audience is Job #1 in direct marketing.

In the world of list selection and database management, there a few timeless principles laid out by long-time practitioners in direct mail. For instance, very rarely will the most comprehensive mailing list or the one with the lowest cost provide the best response.
